Also, about the Kanji 女("onna", woman). I talked to a Japanese streamer saying "I can write 女(woman)". He's proud of my achievement, but he also added that 女 is a strong word, however instead of suggesting me to say 女の人(onna no hito), he told me to say 女性(josei), instead. There's also a Kanji someone mentioned in a different stream called 姦(midara) which by the looks of it, it represents 3 women. However, the streamer said that it has a dark meaning, I looked it up and it means "adultery", like wow!

China used to be a majority shamanic culture, they collected a lot bones for divination, and the Chinese characters developed out of oracle bones. 美 is a really interesting because it is the character for 羊 (goat or sheep) + 大 (big). It means a person of high rank wearing a headdress made from sheep horn. The ancient Chinese kings and shamans used to wear elaborate headdresses decorated with animal horns or feathers and luxurious clothes so they personified "beauty" or 美.

For the 切 kanji in words like 親切 I think of a "bleeding heart" individual who cannot help but be kind to every living thing because they feel such strong emotions for them. They are the kind of person who picks up a wounded bird and fixes it's broken wing. And 大切 I think of the phrase "this cuts deep" which means that it is a deep feeling, and the phrase is usually used with negative emotions. If I feel that strongly, it also means it's important to me. Kanji can be very fun, because I like when I can come up with my own story to remember it.

Doesn't "onna" just mean "female?" That's why "onna no hito" is "female person" or woman. Just saying "onna" is like calling someone a female, which is also rude in English, because you're only mentioning gender and not including the part where she's a person. It could be a female dog, cat, or anything else.

@Probably Buddha your argument is like during an english class when the teacher is explaining the origin/meaning of french borrowed words and you go like "oh no, we don't need to be taught about that, we are not learning french anyway". so surely one doesn't have to pick up chinese language to understand the chinese origin of a kanji too. like it or not, kanji (hanzi) is an integral part of the japanese and those who think that the origin doesn't matter is not gonna fully appreciate and comprehend the true beauty/essence of japanese either, whether they care or not. the unique characteristic of logogram means that almost all kanji/hanzi (except for a few japanese-made kanji) shared the same origin/meaning which is why Misa made this video to highlight a few interesting cases when the japanese interpretation strays too far away from its original context. this extra piece of info might be useless to you but im sure those serious japanese learners would find it useful.

Actually a lot of the characters come from the sound in Chinese. The character 蚊 in Chinese is pronounced the same as the character 文 in Chinese (wén), so the 文 was chosen as for its phonetic value rather than displaying any specific meaning. So the character was then borrowed into Japanese for its meaning rather than anything phonetic. It's the same for the character 鸠 where the 九 is used for its phonetic value (jiǔ and jiū).

I love Misa-sensei's videos, but as others have pointed out, as a Chinese speaker her etymologies for 蚊 and 鳩 are totally wrong. Kanji or Hanzi were invented in China, so unless it's a wasei-kanji 和製漢字 (Japan-made Chinese Character), then the etymology will be based on Chinese grammar and pronunciation. In Chinese, 蚊 is pronounced "wen". 文 is also pronounced "wen" as well, so it is used as a phonetic "hint" for the character. Thus 蚊 is basically a character that "has something to do with bugs, and is pronounced wen". Similarly, 鳩 is pronounced Jiu1 (first tone) in Chinese, and 九 is pronounced Jiu3 (third tone, though in Old Chinese they may have been the same tone), so again it means "some kind of bird, but pronounced like jiu". The majority of Chinese characters are actually constructed like this: a radical that gives you a hint about the context/subject matter, and another component that gives a hint about the pronunciation. When borrowed into Japanese however, the phonetic "hint" of the Chinese characters is usually lost in translation.

Not necessarily. There's at least two ways the explanations could be plausible: 1. Some Kanji actually were created in Japan, usually by combining existing components that wouldn't normally be used together in China. They are called Wasei kanji (和製漢字) or Kokuji (国字). 2. Kanji usually have two types of sounds associated with them, the kun-yomi that is from the normal Japanese pronunciation, and the on-yomi that is derived from Chinese (although since they're based on what Japanese people a very long time ago thought Chinese sounded like, they usually still sound very different from the modern Chinese sounds).

The sound radicals (九, 文) are from (Mandarin) Chinese, and it’s just because the words “dove” and “mosquitoes” sound like “nine” and “sentence” in that language. 九 - jiǔ 鳩 - jiū 文 - wèn 蚊 - wén Having one radical for sound and one for meaning is extremely common in Chinese, and not all of the cases translate well to Japanese, since pronunciation is so different.

I often use this website www.hanziyuan.net to look at the original forms and evolution of hanzi when I can't think of a logical reason for the meaning of a kanji. It lists scans of old Chinese language characters(like oracle bone and seal script) for every hanzi you enter into the search box. I found this website years ago when I first started learning kanji and I was wondering why 目 looks nothing like an eye(turns out that the character was simply rotated 90 degrees and squared off over thousands of years, but it looked exactly like an eye at first). Since then I have looked up many characters, both with high and low stroke counts. It almost always helps me to memorise the kanji, I'd say 99.5% of the time. It's almost like every kanji tells a story, it always reminded me of 言霊.

ミサ先生はいつも面白いの事動画レッスンを作ります。ありがとう!日本の文化と漢字のテマはスーパおもしろいだと思います。もっと作りておねがいします。質問です:「って」何ですか? 動画の中ではミサ先生は「優し人になって」って親はよく言います。」と言いました。私はよく日本人が「てて」,「ってって」と言うのを聞きますが、その意味はわかりません。ミサ先生はすでにこの文法構造に関する動画を作成しましたか? すみません、I have also to ask a question about English pronunciation by Japanese people. Why are native Japanese speakers able to pronounce the word "one" perfectly, but are unable to pronounce "woman" properly? I mean, the beginning of the word "one" and the beginning of the word "woman" are pronounced exactly the same in English. But often native Japanese speakers say "uuuman" instead of "woman". I don't understand why. ドイツのベルリンから、お早う!

The Finnish kanji for woman would be the same with crossed arms but with an added rolling pin in one hand and an angry face. This kanji could also be read as "Where have you been and why are you drunk AGAIN!?" 🤭

You are right: no one should be cheap. Those who think women are cheap think life is cheap.

Etymology is indeed the greatest, especially where kanji are concerned! This video is great. 「安」は女の人が安いという意味がないと聞いて安心した!でも、「姦しい」は?ひどい字だよね… I'm also curious as to why 息子 is breath-child, and what circles have to do with the number nine (i.e. 丸 vs. 九).

いつもありがとう!みささん。勉強になりました!I noticed when you say "woman" it sounds a bit unnatural. It sounds like you are saying ウーメン If you tried to pronounce it more like ヲメン It would probably sound more native! ^^

The English "W" is hard for Japanese speakers. Misa, when you pronounce "woman" you'll find it easier to use two vowel sounds together: oo + uh really quickly. I give similar advice to English speakers trying to pronounce りょうり. I tell them to say "D-O-D" really quickly and say "D" really quickly and very lightly. It can help get the sound down.

だれも 安くあって は いけません。 I don't understand the 安くあって part. 安くある? Would't "be cheap(ly)" be 安くいる?

神様に人間をささげていたからです。 If it was to mean humans "were offered" wouldn't we need passive? This is more like "they offered humans to the gods"", right?

In German we sometimes differentiate between the more positive "günstig", meaning 'inexpensive' and the more negative "billig", meaning cheap in a low quality sort of way. Are there any similarities to Japanese and 安い?
